PURE by Gillette Shaving Cream: A Gentle Approach to a Smooth Shave
For those who seek a gentle yet effective shaving experience, PURE by Gillette offers a refreshing alternative to traditional shaving creams. Designed for men with sensitive skin in mind, this formula boasts no dyes, no parabens, and no sulfates, making it a great choice for those who want a cleaner, more natural shave. But it does have menthol and peppermint so if you are sensitive to them this is not for you.
What Makes PURE by Gillette Different?
Gillette, a brand long associated with precision shaving, developed the PURE line to cater to users looking for a milder, skin-friendly option. Unlike many mainstream shaving creams that contain harsh chemicals, PURE is infused with aloe, helping to soothe and protect the skin from irritation.
For generations, Nivea has been a trusted name in skincare, and its Nivea Men Originals Shaving Cream continues to be a go-to option for men looking for a comfortable and effective shave. This shaving cream stands out for its rich formula, which provides excellent lubrication, hydration, and protection for the skin. Whether you’re using a traditional safety razor or a modern cartridge razor, Nivea Men Originals ensures a smooth glide and minimal irritation.
Looking for something I hadn't used in a while, I found Cool Cologne. The first time I used this was in 2017, and the last time was in 2021. This is a shaving cream from the UK, I believe, and when I used it for the first time, I was impressed by the amount of menthol in the product.
Since I've had this one tube of shaving cream for over 8 years, the formula will start to break down. The one thing you could notice is the lack of creamy texture to the paste. It was unfortunately very dry and needed a boost of water. This led me to try a bowl lather, but that just didn't work out as planned. So I placed a large amount in the brush I was using, kept it wet as I could, and started a face lather. This turned out to be what was needed and I got the shaving cream to come back to life I even noticed the menthol was present. As it turns out I had a great shaving and would use this again but I don't think I'll be waiting eight years to try it again.
Today I'm happy to be shaving with Speick a shaving stick I thought I lost. This one is a notch above Palmolive in scent but when it comes to performance they are the same both are great.
As I said in the past now that I have the skill set of using the stick I always apply it correctly and this went on with no issues. Once I started the face lather it didn't take much effort to create a wonderful thick lather that got right into the beard and provided superior slickness and glide.
The razor I started with was the MagT. The one thing about this razor is its aggressiveness. I love the way it looks and the way it holds the blade with powerful magnets I can even stand the substantial weight but the aggressiveness was just too much for me and my face. I gave it the old college try but needed to swap it out for Occam's Razor.
In a time of legend and chivalry, where knights upheld honor and valor, there was a tale that whispered through the halls of Camelot—a tale of the enigmatic Green Knight. With skin like emerald and a gaze as sharp as the edge of a finely honed blade, he emerged from the wilderness, his presence as bold and invigorating as the scent of a primeval forest after a storm.
Inspired by this timeless story, Wet The Face presents The Green Knight, a shaving soap and aftershave crafted to embody the mystique, strength, and allure of the legendary figure. Each time you lather up, you embark on a sensory journey that echoes the knight's daring challenge and the natural splendor of his woodland domain.
I knew when I went back to work it would only be a matter of time before I caught a cold 10 days to be exact. Everyone was sick before I returned and the flu was going around the office in the two months I was out. I was lucky not to get that I just got a common cold. But others were not so lucky some of them had been out close to two weeks and when they returned they looked weak.
I have the advantage of not being able to smell anything and thought this was a great time to use the Arko stick. Not a big fan of the scent and since I can't smell anything it was perfect timing.
I was trying to narrow down what I was going to use and opened the lid and once I caught the scent (lemons) I was hooked.
